Epoxy Coated Steel Tanks

Epoxy coated steel tanks are a type of storage tank that features an Internal coating - Thermoset resin fusion bonded epoxy and an External Coating - Ultra-durable polyester. Epoxy coating through Bonded Epoxy and curing agent 200 degrees of melting and curing, creating a strong and flexible thermosetting polymer coating. This coating helps prevent corrosion and can protect stored fluids from contamination, making them ideal for storing a variety of fluids such as drinking water, process, and wastewater storage.

FBE tanks are tested to rigorous standards and meet, exceed, or provide comparable performance to a wide range of internationally recognized coating requirements. Epoxy tanks have become a popular choice across various industries due to their durability, cost-effectiveness, and low maintenance requirements.

FBE-1500V Epoxy Coated Steel Tanks

FBE-1500V coatings are thicker coatings that pass the 1500V holiday test with a minimum dry film thickness of 12 mils/300 microns. It offers better corrosion protection and is often used in more aggressive environments, such as wastewater and sewage treatment tanks. Both types of epoxy coated steel tanks have excellent corrosion resistance, but the FBE-1500V offers better performance for tanks in harsh environments.

FBE-1100V Epoxy Coated Steel Tanks

Epoxy-coated steel superior water tanks are available in two models: FBE-1500V and FBE-1100V. FBE-1500V and FBE-1100V refer to the thickness of epoxy coatings and the level of corrosion resistance they provide. FBE-1100V coating is the standard coating for most steel storage tanks, passed the 1100V holiday test, with a minimum dry film thickness of 12 mils/200 microns, and has good corrosion resistance. This type of coating is commonly used in water storage tanks and other industrial applications.

USES OF EPOXY COATED STEEL TANKS

Epoxy coated steel tanks are often used for less demanding applications where lower cost and moderate corrosion resistance are acceptable, such as in the storage of potable water, industrial liquids, or materials that produce moderate corrosion.

EPOXY COATED STEEL TANKS MANUFACTURING PROCESS

The process of coating steel with epoxy typically involves three main steps. The first step is surface preparation, which involves cleaning the steel to remove any dirt, rust, or other contaminants that may prevent the epoxy from bonding properly. This can be done using various methods, such as sandblasting or chemical cleaning.

The second step is the application of the epoxy coating, mainly through electrostatic spraying to complete. Depending on the application and the type of epoxy being used, multiple coats may be necessary to achieve the desired level of protection.

Finally, the coated steel is cured at a specific temperature and for a set amount of time. This allows the epoxy to fully harden and bond to the steel, creating a durable and long-lasting protective coating.

Epoxy-coated steel is commonly used in applications where corrosion resistance is required, such as in pipelines, tanks, and other industrial equipment. It can also be used in architectural applications.
